#SheSociety was invited to witness Charlize Theron’s strong portrayal of her character Marlo in a soon to be released movie called “Tully” written by Diablo Cody, directed by Jason Reitman. It is realistic to the point that it could almost turn […]
When you get to my age, gifts on Mother’s Day are less significant. The majority of us don’t need “stuff”. What is important to me is time spent with my children and grandchildren (albeit difficult when we live in different states), or […]

I’m not referring to the obvious psychological and physical wrangle of budget, shopping, crowds and time. It is the house preparations, particularly if everyone is coming to stay with with you! It has been years since I have entertained my family in […]
